simply the product
of imaginative seafarers?

Or could there be remote locations
all over the world...

that are secret bases
for extraterrestrials?

[ Narrator]
March 1963.
26
00:01:58,745 --> 00:02:02,207
Seventy-five miles
off the coast of Puerto Rico.
27
00:02:03,541 --> 00:02:06,419
While training
in antisubmarine maneuvers...
28
00:02:06,503 --> 00:02:08,463
the United States Navy's fleet-
29
00:02:08,546 --> 00:02:11,674
led by the U.S.S. Wasp
aircraft carrier-
30
00:02:11,758 --> 00:02:16,429
detects an unknown sonar target
moving in the nearby waters.
31
00:02:18,014 --> 00:02:21,643
For four days, the fleet tracked
the unknown object...
32
00:02:21,726 --> 00:02:25,522
recording its speed
at more than 150 knots...
33
00:02:25,605 --> 00:02:28,900
or 170 miles per hour.
34
00:02:31,945 --> 00:02:36,825
There is nothing
in any naval inventory...
35
00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:40,495
anywhere in the world that can approach
anything remotely that speed.
36
00:02:40,578 --> 00:02:42,163
Not then, not now.
37
00:02:42,247 --> 00:02:44,707
Moreover,
the object descended to a depth...
38
00:02:44,791 --> 00:02:48,002
of something like 27,000 feet.
39
00:02:48,086 --> 00:02:49,838
Again, another impossibility.
40
00:02:49,921 --> 00:02:52,632
The pressures down there
are vastly too much.
41
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:55,260
They would crush any vessel
that went down that deep.
42
00:02:56,261 --> 00:02:58,805
That time,
the technology that we had...
43
00:02:58,888 --> 00:03:01,057
the best that we could do underwater...
44
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:05,854
was about 45 knots
at a maximum depth of about 3,000 feet.
45
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:09,691
For the last hundred, 200 years...
46
00:03:09,774 --> 00:03:12,777

many, many accounts of objects...

that have been seen underwater.
48
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:19,033
But exactly what they are,
we still do not know.
49
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:24,163
There's been a tremendous surge
of U.F.O. sightings in Puerto Rico...
50

since the early 1990s.
51
00:03:27,083 --> 00:03:29,335
And for many
of the Puerto Rican witnesses...
52
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:31,880
they're absolutely convinced
that there's some sort...
53
00:03:31,963 --> 00:03:36,134
of massive, futuristic installation
deep below Puerto Rico...
54
00:03:36,217 --> 00:03:38,052

and off the coasts of islands?
58
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:53,401
Could this explain...
59
00:03:53,484 --> 00:03:56,446
why so many islands
around the world...

and beneath the sea?
63
00:04:06,915 --> 00:04:09,417
Isolated islands
would be a perfect location...
64

for, say, extraterrestrial beings
to make their base of operations.
65
00:04:14,088 --> 00:04:18,468
Radar could spot any kind of craft
in orbit very quickly.
66

However, if you had your base
underwater, near an island...
67
00:04:24,515 --> 00:04:26,684
a lot more difficult
to be discovered.
68
00:04:28,186 --> 00:04:31,773
Islands are essentially mountains
that are mostly underwater.
69
00:04:33,274 --> 00:04:35,944
What they are, in essence,
is energetic upwellings...
70

of the energy of the Earth...
71
00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:39,697
pushing higher
and higher and higher.
72
00:04:39,781 --> 00:04:41,950
Logically, these types of locations...
73
00:04:42,033 --> 00:04:44,160
would be very attractive
to visitors from another world...
74
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:46,913

be looking for an ideal place...
75

to set up a base or a landing spot...

101
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:30,224
Is it perhaps
more than mere coincidence...
102
00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:32,894
that the native people
known as the Aleuts...
103
00:06:32,977 --> 00:06:35,188
believe this is the exact spot...
104
00:06:35,271 --> 00:06:39,108
where their ancestors
first descended from the skies?
105
00:06:40,068 --> 00:06:42,612
[ Man ] The Aleuts believe
they descended from a creature...
106
00:06:42,695 --> 00:06:45,948
that had come from the sky.
107
00:06:47,283 --> 00:06:50,578
A dog, actually, had fallen
to the island of Umnak...
108
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:53,539
and had had two pups with paws.
109
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:59,879
But the children that came from
those two were perfect humans.
110
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:02,757
So by way of this descent
from the heavens...
111
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,301
and by way of animal form...
112
00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:08,012

113
00:07:08,096 --> 00:07:12,433
[ Man ] I find it intriguing
that the Aleuts' origin story...
114
00:07:12,517 --> 00:07:17,396
has something to do with them
having arrived from the sky...
115

essentially saying
that they have been seeded.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

they point to the fact...

that similar legends exist

is one of the chief activities
of the Little People.
153

And the whole point of these stories...
154
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:50,258
is that the humans tend to come back
from the other realm...

often finding that hundreds of years
have passed.

A lot of volcanic activity.
A lot of tectonic and geo activity.

So there's a lot of energy there.
352
00:22:27,097 --> 00:22:30,809
One theory would simply be that
if these other beings, whatever they are...

wanted access to a good source
of energy...
354

But there is one area of the island

the lost city of Nan Madol.

The native islanders believe
this ancient site is cursed.
369

And it is also home...

00:23:46,885 --> 00:23:51,306
to some of the most mysterious
archaeological ruins in the world.
371
00:23:52,808 --> 00:23:57,187
Built on a coral reef just off
the eastern coast of Pohnpei...
372
00:23:57,270 --> 00:24:00,148
and sprawling more than 200 acres...
373
00:24:00,232 --> 00:24:04,903
Nan Madol consists
of 92 smaller man-made islands...

connected by canals.
375
00:24:10,534 --> 00:24:13,787
According to historians,
this ancient city...
376
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:16,456
often called
the Venice of the Pacific...
377
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:19,459
was the capital
of the Saudeleur dynasty...
378
00:24:19,543 --> 00:24:24,381
that ruled from about 500 to 1628 A.D.
379
00:24:27,717 --> 00:24:30,637
[ Woman ] This ancient city
housed the Saudeleurs...

It has feasting areas.

It has tombs.
384
00:24:41,273 --> 00:24:43,441
So there's a whole number of areas...
385
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:46,027
that each of these islets supported.
386
00:24:49,364 --> 00:24:51,324
[ Narrator]
Most archaeologists agree...
387
00:24:51,408 --> 00:24:53,952
that construction
of these artificial islands...
388
00:24:54,035 --> 00:24:56,705
began sometime in the 13th century.
389
00:24:58,248 --> 00:25:00,834
Each has been formed
with columnar basalt...
390
00:25:01,918 --> 00:25:04,045
a black rock that forms...
391
00:25:04,129 --> 00:25:08,884
when basaltic lava from a volcano
cools in the form of columns.
392
00:25:10,552 --> 00:25:13,680
There are a number
of columnar basalt outflows...
393
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:16,099
across Pohnpei itself.
394
00:25:17,017 --> 00:25:19,519
And we know of several
of these outcrops...
395
00:25:19,603 --> 00:25:22,522
that were used to mine the basalt.
396
00:25:22,606 --> 00:25:26,943
They were then transported
to the area of Nan Madol...
397
00:25:27,027 --> 00:25:30,530
and then placed
to create these small islets.
398
00:25:34,201 --> 00:25:38,163
[ Narrator] But how did the native people
living here 800 years ago...
399
00:25:38,246 --> 00:25:42,751
manage to build 92 islets
out of giant basalt columns?
400
00:25:44,044 --> 00:25:47,339
Researchers estimate
that each stone log used...
401
00:25:47,422 --> 00:25:49,674
to construct
the megalithic structures...
402
00:25:49,758 --> 00:25:52,219
weighs between five to 50 tons.
403
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:57,057
Stacked to form walls
as high as 25 feet tall...
404
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:59,559
and 17 feet thick...
405
00:25:59,643 --> 00:26:02,604
archaeologists believe
that it was an undertaking...
406
00:26:02,687 --> 00:26:04,731
that most likely would have required...
407
00:26:04,814 --> 00:26:08,485
all 25, 000 island inhabitants
to complete.
408
00:26:10,153 --> 00:26:12,864
Around the ruins of Nan Madol
are many canals...
409
00:26:12,948 --> 00:26:16,076
which researchers
and archaeologists say...
410
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:19,871
were the routes taken by boats
to move these basalt columns...
411
00:26:19,955 --> 00:26:24,209
across and around the island
to construct the huge megalithic site.
412
00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:28,171
[ Narrator]
Mainstream scholars insist...
413
00:26:28,255 --> 00:26:30,590
native people built Nan Madol...
414
00:26:30,674 --> 00:26:33,718
using ropes, rollers and rafts.
415
00:26:35,178 --> 00:26:38,348
But attempts to prove this theory
have failed.
416
00:26:40,725 --> 00:26:43,645
[ Beardsley ] So if you add up
all of the stone logs...
417
00:26:43,728 --> 00:26:50,110
you have a weight of 750,000
or so metric tons.
418
00:26:50,193 --> 00:26:51,861
That's a lot.
419
00:26:52,862 --> 00:26:58,618
If you were to move
maybe 2,000 tons a year...
420
00:26:58,702 --> 00:27:01,621
you might be able to get it built...
421
00:27:01,705 --> 00:27:04,416
over about three centuries.
422
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:09,754
We're talking about
a major, massive effort here.
423
00:27:09,838 --> 00:27:14,426
The kind of effort that you would see
in the construction of the pyramids in Egypt.

00:27:19,264 --> 00:27:21,641
[ Narrator] But could there
be another explanation...
425
00:27:21,725 --> 00:27:25,645
for how these ancient people
were able to move such massive rocks...
426
00:27:25,729 --> 00:27:29,816
miles across the island
and into place in the ocean...
427

without the help
of modern machinery?

00:27:33,653 --> 00:27:35,655
According to local legends...
429
00:27:35,739 --> 00:27:40,702
the ancient builders used a much more
profound method of construction-
430
00:27:40,785 --> 00:27:43,788
an advanced anti-gravitational
technology...
431

that ancient astronaut theorists
believe...

may explain many of the world's
mysterious megalithic sites.
433

Some legends state that the stones
were actually flown...

from one part of the island to another...

or levitated some way...
436
00:28:02,223 --> 00:28:05,727
to get them up to such high areas
of the main construction.
437
00:28:06,728 --> 00:28:10,482
[ Man ] This is very reminiscent
of what researchers call...

which was a technique
of raising heavy stones...

by matching the sound frequency
of matter...

that basalt blocks were moved...

on a map back in 1774.

that the researchers must have
been looking in the wrong place...
551

pointing to the fact that satellites had
recorded temperatures in this location...

consistent with the presence of land.
553
00:35:33,716 --> 00:35:36,969
Scientists would later claim
that this anomaly...
554
00:35:37,053 --> 00:35:39,639
was due to errors in the data sets.
555

by whoever might be using the islands.

679
00:43:33,946 --> 00:43:35,614
for thousands of years...
680
00:43:37,116 --> 00:43:40,452
using them as secret hideouts...
681
00:43:40,536 --> 00:43:45,040
landing spots
or energetic refueling stations?
682
00:43:46,667 --> 00:43:51,964
Could there be extraterrestrial bases
on hidden islands even now?
683
00:43:53,215 --> 00:43:57,970
And when the truth behind
these forbidden islands is revealed...
684
00:43:58,053 --> 00:44:04,059
